Where to Start With WurQ (Quick-Start Guide)

This guide will walk you through onboarding, starting a workout, uploading your data, and reviewing your results.

Step 1: Complete Onboarding

When you first set up WurQ, the onboarding will guide you through:

• How to wear the sensors

• How to connect the sensors

• How to pair the sensors to your app

How to Wear Your Sensors

• Wear the wrist sensor on your right wrist with the branding visible.

• Attach the chest sensor just below your sternum, above your stomach.

• Make sure the chest sensor is in direct contact with your skin so it can read heart rate accurately.

Connect and Pair Sensors

• Turn Bluetooth ON on your iPhone.

• Put on the chest sensor. It will automatically turn on when touching your skin.

• Open the WurQ app and tap Connect Sensors.

• Select both sensors when they appear.

• Rename them when prompted.

After pairing once, the sensors will automatically connect for future workouts.

Important: Do not pair sensors through iPhone Bluetooth settings. Always connect inside the WurQ app.

Step 2: Choose Your Workout (Freestyle vs Programmed WOD)

You can start workouts in two ways:

Freestyle WOD

Use this when:

• You are doing your own workout

• Your gym programming is not in WurQ

• You are doing strength, accessory work, or custom WODs

Freestyle lets WurQ detect movements automatically without needing a predefined workout.

Programmed WOD. 

Use this when:

• You follow Mayhem, PRVN, CAP, HWPO, or other supported programming

• You want to compare results and see where you stack on the leaderboard

• The workout is already built in the app 

You can create your own Training Program  - https://support.wurq.io/en/support/solutions/articles/156000022583-how-do-i-create-my-own-training-program-and-assign-wods-to-it- 

• Navigate to admin.wurq.io.

• Create a Training program and Name it. 

• Create WODs and add them to your Training program. 

You can open the WOD Details page to:

• See workout structure

• View leaderboard

• Check average timing and fastest timing. 

Step 3: Start and Stop Workout Logic

Tap Start to begin.

Important Start Logic

The workout timing officially starts when:

• You perform your first movement, not when the timer starts

Stopping the Workout

When you finish:

• Hold to Stop

• This ends the workout and begins the upload process

Step 5: Uploading Your Workout Data

After you stop the workout, the upload screen will appear.

You will see a progress bar from 1% to 100%.

Upload Phases

• 1–50% → Dowloading data from sensors to your phone

• 50–100% → Uploading data from phone to WurQ cloud

Once this reaches 100%, your workout will begin processing.

Step 6: Processing and Draft Results

After uploading, WurQ processes your workout and generates Draft Results.

In Draft Results, you can:

• Review detected movements

• Check reps and rounds

• Edit anything that looks incorrect

• Confirm workout structure

This step is important because confirming improves detection accuracy over time.

Step 7: Confirm Detection and Get Insights

After reviewing your draft results:

• Tap Confirm

• WurQ will finalize your workout

• You will then receive:

  • Workout insights

  • Movement breakdown

  • Heart rate by movement

  • Pacing analysis

  • Workload metrics

  • Performance trends

This is where WurQ turns your workout into performance data and insights.
